Saikaen is one of the best farms in Hachimantai for tasting strawberries as well as viewing flowers. From January to the end of June, five varieties of strawberries can be picked, including white strawberries that are very rare and are as sweet as peaches. (The strawberries are not sold outside and must be eaten at the farm.) No reservations required. The strawberries are all-you-can-eat for an hour.
